The Hype around the Toyota GT86 Rocket Bunny: An Icon in Tuning
The Toyota GT86 is a popular sports coupe that was on the market between 2012 and 2021. Developed in a collaboration between Toyota and Subaru, designers like Tetsuya Tada played a crucial role in its development. The car is known for its excellent balance and low center of gravity achieved through the Subaru-sourced boxer engine. It served as a successor to the previous model Toyota Celica and came equipped with a powerful 2.0-liter engine and a finely-tuned manual six-speed gearbox, providing a direct driving experience.

The model depicted here features typical elements of the Rocket Bunny kit, such as widened fenders, deep front and rear bumpers, and a large rear spoiler. These kits were designed by Kei Miura, an icon in the tuning scene known for their aggressive yet artistic body designs.
